| Description | Cartoon shows President Roosevelt as a cook trying to keep the lid on a pot labeled "Prices," while a man labeled "Labor" shovels coal (labeled "Wages") into the stove. In 1941, with the economy going at full blast due to the rearmament program, the government struggled to control prices to keep down inflation. Berryman blames the labor unions for continuing to press for higher wages. |
